Question

the diameter of a pearl is about 4×10-¹⁴ cm and the diameter of an atom is about 10-¹¹ m. how much larger than an atom is a pearl?​

Answer 1

The diameter of an atom is 25000 times the diameter of a pearl.

Explanation:

Given that,

The diameter of a pearl is
`4* 10^(-14)\ cm`

The diameter of an atom is
`10^(-11)\ m=10^(-9)\ m`

Taking the ratio,

`\frac{\text{diameter of an atom}}{\text{diameter of a pearl}}=(10^(-9)\ m)/(4* 10^(-14)\ m)\\\\=25000`

So, the diameter of an atom is 25000 times the diameter of a pearl.
